I know-I’m the world’s worst procrastinator! It’s been a really busy
summer but I want to finish these wedding recaps! (Even though I’ve been
married for 5 months-ha!)

After the ceremony, we split off to take photos of Zach and me as
well as us with our families and the wedding party while the guests
enjoyed cocktail hour.

We
chose two drinks to have as our signature drinks and also served beer
and Mississippi muscadine wine. The bride’s drink was a strawberry
mojito and the groom’s drink was Captain and Coke!

The whole wedding party! From right, Jim, Danielle, Jonathon, Emily,
Scott, Amanda, Shawn, Chelsea, me, Zach, Caitlin, Dan, Mary Catherine,
Kevin, Brianna, and Andy! We had the funniest wedding party-they kept
the party going all weekend and we all had so much fun!

Us with my parents and sister

Zach’s pink socks! I had to have him wear some pink!

Zach’s sweet grandparents Grammy and Poppy! I love them!

We had a wedding cowbell that we made and we didn’t ring it until our wedding day!

Chelsea and Shawn had the most hilarious best man-maid of honor entrance!

The new Mr. and Mrs.!

First dance!

Time to cut the cake! The flavor of our cake was amazing! It was a
creamy vanilla cake with fresh strawberry filling and vanilla
buttercream.

Scott wins the award for best dance moves!

Tossing the bouquet! Mary Catherine caught the bouquet and she
actually was the next one to get married! Her and Kevin were married in
June!

Also, the our friend who caught the garter proposed to his girlfriend only a few weeks after our wedding!

We had an MSU pom pom and cowbell send off after the wedding! The whole group sang the MSU fight song and it made us smile

Of course I had to say bye to my dad post-wedding! The poor guy had
the Noro virus and was suffering the whole day. What a trooper!

After
our wedding everyone went to a local favorite restaurant, Red’s Ice
House, and continued the party there! The place wasn’t busy, so we had
the band and a whole section of the restaurant to ourselves! We had SUCH
a blast! Our reception ended at 9 and we wound up staying at Red’s past
midnight. Zach and I walked to our hotel which was right down the
street and everyone was honking and yelling to us since we were in our
wedding gear!
We were so fortunate that we had so many people who mean so much to us
travel for our wedding. We had such an amazing, memorable wedding!

From downtown, we traveled to the ceremony and reception site, the
Pavilion at Patriot’s Point. Since we had separate limos, the girls went
inside the clubhouse at the golf club to wait for the ceremony to
begin, while the guys waited in the reception area. Thankfully we only
had about 25 minutes before the ceremony! I was too excited to wait any
longer!

Our ceremony decor was pink and cheerful!

Pink and champagne ribbons on all the chairs, large flowers for the reserved rows, flower petals lining the aisle…

Signs
leading the way to the aisle that had vows on them, such as “To have
and to hold”, “In sickness and in health”, with the last sign before the
aisle saying “Here comes the bride”.

I also made the paper flower garland that was strung between the trees!

My dad made 3 foot A&Z signs for us that we had in the ceremony and reception areas!

Before we knew it, it was time to walk down the aisle!
Here go the guys!

And the girls!

I love how you can see Fort Sumter, the decor of the ceremony, Caitlin, and the groomsmen in this photo.

Here comes the bride!

I
loved our vows. We started with the traditional vows the pastor
provided us and changed it around to make it more “us”. We both felt it
had a lot about our personalities and also our relationship in the vows
and the guests both laughed and thought they were sweet at the same
time.

My aunt Mary Kate read a poem that Zach wrote during the ceremony as well!

Before I knew it, we were exchanging rings!

We are husband and wife!

Clearly I was very excited about this!

Mr. and Mrs. Zachary Wynne!

After the ceremony, we made it official and signed our marriage license! Zach’s face in this picture is HILARIOUS!
